My favorite women's magazine this week tells me that a young British singer is really worth a visit. His name: Eliza Doolittle. My heart missed a beat (*), but in good surfer, 'Immediately I Her google', and - what a surprise - the name of this little cheeky spans the first five pages Search!

Well, the REAL Eliza Doolittle, she is not AT ALL!
Eliza Doolittle is the heroine of Bernard Shaw in his play 'Pygmalion ' published in 1916 and taken into a musical under the title of 'My Fair Lady ' by AJ Lerner in 1958.
Eliza is a little flower girl in cockney accent well defined: it aspires no ' h' and said ' rain' as' Rhine '; to the output of an evening at the theater, Mr. Higgins, professor of phonetics and linguistics, the gamble to move Eliza Doolittle for a duchess after 6 months of lessons in pronunciation ...
' My Fair Lady' by AJ Lerner (1960 - 100 pages)
B. Shaw's play is a little hard to read (minimum level: B2 + ) However, the script of 'My Fair Lady' is very accessible (minimum level: B1/B1 +) and you will spend a great time.
good time before or after reading: Sink into your sofa for an afternoon of autumn and enjoy the DVD of the musical: the divine Audrey Hepburn ( Who else? ) portrays a Eliza Doolittle remember, and Rex Harrison's Professor Higgins a a cynical glare. The songs are "just great ', they will not soon forget.
